    In Joel 1:17, the feminine plural absolute form occurs in the report of crop failure; the APB renders the clause, “the granaries lie overthrown,” following the statement that the grain has withered.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Joel 1:17, the APB presents the term in the clause “the granaries lie overthrown.” This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
